Well, first off, let me tell you that Barbie had a sleep over at the beautician...trully did miss her that night

She was an entirely different person when I picked her up...she thought that she was something. . Now she wants to do weekly visits for her hair and nails...to bad she can't get a pedicure.

Here is her final result...you can see the full cake in my photo.

Love the updo. Very classy!

That is hilarious! I read the thread about the barbie doll the other day. You did a great job. Did you used the fondant rolls underneath the fondant to make the pleated parts? I read that in the instructions but it sounded kind of complicated. Is it easier than it sounds?

Thanks alimonkey and atkin600.

Yes, it is the fondant rolls underneath...that is the easiest part of the whole cake.

You take the amount of fondant needed and roll between your hands to shape like a log.

This was my first time working with MMF.

That is a classy look!! The entire cake was something to behold!! I love it!!!

Hi Stephanie! I think you did a great job on Barbie!!!! I think it is funny that she got to have her hair done!!! By the way...your spidey cake turned out awesome!!!! I thought about doing mine in candy melts...but the lady asked me to duplicate a photo. Anyway...both cakes look terrific!!!

Cake looks great and so does Barbie's hair.
You should have taken pictures of her at the beauty shop.
So now I think one of us needs to do a cake of barbie at the beauty shop and we can use the mini wonder mold pans and there hair can be in curlers.

Great work!

Love the do!

Thanks so much for your responses.

Traci, thanks alot for letting me use your cake to do this. My neice-in-law called to thank me and to let me know that he was so surprised @ the cake...I'm glad that he was pleased.

How did you make out with Rita? My sisters were here for a week visiting when Rita hit. My brother-in-law and neice went to Dallas...took them almost 20 hrs to drive a normal four hour ride. My other sister's son went to Lubbock, don't even want to think how long it took him to get there.

jennjd, I was planning on doing that but I was rushing to get her there...forgot her appt. time...can you believe that? I left my camera home.
Maybe on her next appt. if I get an order.

tanyascakes, thanks so much, I got a chance to try alot of first on this cake; making mmf, covering cake with it, double string work and so forth.
How did it go with your gel transfer?

Thanks toddsgirl, I think that she did an excellent job.

Hey Stephanie. I am so glad we stayed here. We only had a tree blow down. We got a minimal amount of rain. I would hate to have to drive back in all that traffic!!! I hope your family has a safe ride home. Anyway...I really like your spiderman cake. Next time I will definitely use the candy melts for spidey. That will be a heck of a lot easier than doing all those stars!!!!
traci

traci,

Funny thing... the spidey broke around the neck when I went to sit it on the dowels. It didn't break when I flipped it out the pan, nor when I traced the cardboard...go figure.

I was able to repair without them knowing until I told them.

Gave me the chance to do airbrushing...can't wait to do more airbrushing.

Let me know when you do yours.

Do you have an airbrush machine?? I have always wanted to try it but never seem to have the time to play around with new things!
traci

I have a Badger that I used when I use to airbrush nails.

Pulled it out of the closet, sanitized it and no problems...goes to show that you don't always have to buy things just because it states made especially for cakes.

Well that's great!!! There is a local cake store that sells the equipment, but I decided to get my canon edible image printer first. Now I am so spoiled to printing images that I don't want to do any difficult decorating! Maybe I will ask for the airbrush stuff for a Christmas present!
traci

I want an edible image printer too

wow I was waiting to see Barbie......she looks great!!

Hi lastingmoments,

Glad that you like her, guess what...the lady got the date wrong for her mom's party and didn't need Barbie until next weekend

When I called her about picking it up, that's when she told me about the mix-up with the date.

I told her there was nothing I could do because it was covered in mmf.

She picked up the cake and we are going to do a sheet cake for the weekend, have to meet her today to get some ideas of what she wants.

Another cake order added to the two I already have

Hang in there Stephanie! The orders that were cancelled due to Rita have decided to change theirs to October the 8th....I already had like 3 orders for that weekend! I am gonna be super busy...I guess I'll need to bake and freeze ahead of time!!!!!
traci

I know what you mean...I'll be baking and freezing today.

She looks beautiful!!

Stephanie214,
Im sorry to hear that....but i guess it was just one of those weeks. I had somene call and cancel due to rita (rain) and since she moved to the east they called me the night before to tell me it was back on. I was horrified....but pooh came out ok either way.... I loved your doll.......Maybe they could have saved it in the fridge is that wishful thinking!

Thanks Daniela for your nice compliment.


lastingmoments, sorry it took me so long to respond...couldn't get my internet to dial out.

I ended up getting to bed early for a change. lol

I couldn't store the cake because of the mmf and decorations. She paid for the cake and now I have to do another one for her for this weekend.

Oh well...glad I didn't make the mistake.

Barbie looks great. I want my hair like that.

Great Job

She looks very cute and sweet!

Thanks twindees,

Will make you an appt. along with Barbie and her little sister...yeah, little sister got jealous.

Nitu,

She is spoiled rotten now

Thanks

Oh, I am very sorry.I only saw the cake, didn't see all forums.
You can make her again even more beautiful.

Sorry again

Nitu

Hi Nitu,

lol...no problem, Barbie is the spoiled one. lol

I have a small doll pic that I call Barbie's little sister...now she wants to go to the beautician.

All this is just a running joke.
